Rafiki Said has been confirmed by the club. Thoughts? Does anyone have any more information about him?
1.) 11 Jul 2026 11:00:03
At least 8 goals in all of his last 4 seasons. Feels like what we were missing last year - since Cunha left, we haven't had a proper goal threat.
2.) 11 Jul 2026 12:47:32
Let's give the player a chance. Even the great Steve Bull wasn't reckoned that much when we signed him from the Baggies.
3.) 11 Jul 2026 13:21:38
As I said in a previous post, that is all we can do.
If he turns out to be half as good as Mr Bull, we will all be delighted.
However, it is far from certain you can compare the 2 transfers, as Bull was only 21 and was bought for a bag of beans, whereas this player is 26 and was acquired for a fairly sizeable fee.
4.) 11 Jul 2026 17:11:29
Of course, we can't compare the Said transfer to Steve Bull's, but my point really is that you can't judge a book by its cover. We obviously see something in him.
5.) 11 Jul 2026 23:24:52
Well, that is axiomatically correct.
Sadly, though, that is also the case for every player ever acquired.
Some of whom will have been brilliant - the aforementioned Mr Bull, some will have been ordinary, and some of whom (and, tragically lately, that some could be replaced with most) will have been abysmal.
His record is modest, but as I have never seen him play, it would be wrong of me to dismiss him.
Consequently, whilst I am not optimistic, I have not said he is a bad signing - yet - but have said that there must be safer ones, i.e.
players who have a better or more relevant track record.
All signings are a gamble, but this one, especially for the price, looks a substantial one.
However, as the new manager is just that new, perhaps he is entitled to a punt; after all, he can't be blamed or held responsible for the shambolic transfer dealings of previous regimes.
16 Feb 2026 19:37:53
I have been thinking. When we get relegated down to Championship, Liverpool and Man United will come swooping for Mane. I think he will be very good in the championship so in the deal how about a loan back clause of any kind?
Thoughts?
1.) 16 Feb 2026 21:23:13
I really agree Fc, that would be a great move for all parties involved.
2.) 17 Feb 2026 09:47:47
I hope he decides to stay. He's still a young man and will have plenty of time to get the big money move.
The vultures will circle around our players though.
Sa, Santi, Jackson, Wolfe, Andre, Bellegarde and Joao will all go for about £100m. Doyle, Traore and Munetsi, Rodrigo and Lopez should prove to be a good combination to chose from in the Championship.
We won't need many players to make us the favourites next season but we do need quality.
I would suggest Harwood Bellis and Bazunu as defender and GK
3.) 17 Feb 2026 10:00:16
My thoughts Fc are that Mane, if he is sold for £50mil, must not be loaned into the Championship. If he's worth £50 mil he will be hacked to death to cut him down to size by the usual suspects.
Jota had a tough time in the champ with us. I would prefer to loan Mane to Coventry if they are promoted, and then cash in when his value might get even higher.
4.) 17 Feb 2026 14:11:45
I think we can count out Lopez being in the champ with us, he’s given an interview stating he’s got no intention of playing in the championship next season, I would be amazed if munetsi comes back as well. We can only hope blues don’t go up otherwise that’s Doyle gone as well as they have a clause saying they sign him if they get promoted
09 Jan 2026 05:53:50
Any word on any signings yet?
1.) 09 Jan 2026 08:46:42
One word, NONE
07 Nov 2025 10:42:03
Seems we have had an approach for the Real Vallacano Boss. Been rejected and he wants to stay in Spain for now
19 Sep 2025 01:15:36
Ruben Neves to Man U is apparently going to happen 17 million.
1.) 19 Sep 2025 06:01:12
Are you suggesting Wolves try to re-sign him?
Should we offer him as close to his current wage as possible £275k per week or not?
2.) 19 Sep 2025 09:43:41
Yes I am suggsting that. The only problem with it is his wages Wandering.

Ok, first 2 pre season games done. What are your predictions for Wolves place in the league this season? I predict 4th place and win at Wembley to go up.
1.) 26 Jul 2026 00:11:51
No chance. We're a shambles at the moment, with a few weeks before we start. Defence is awful, and no midfield. Doyle is simply not good enough. Krejki. Bueno & Wolfe will be leaving, & take your gold tinted glasses off, Wolves fans, cus this is gonna be cruel. If we finish halfway, I'll be happy. Unless this club actually gets their act together.
2.) 26 Jul 2026 08:39:57
From what I have seen so far, not a lot has changed from last season. We would rather go backwards than pass forward when we have the chance, and the back up players are not good enough. Let us hope we get some new players, or we are going to struggle again this season.
3.) 26 Jul 2026 08:45:28
Lexluna, the only time you will be happy is if we get relegated again, then you can say I told you so.
4.) 26 Jul 2026 09:09:44
Guessing bottom half.
By Xmas, sack the manager, then bring another one in.
Same as normal.
Hopefully totally wrong.
5.) 26 Jul 2026 09:23:49
Hope all you moaners and groaners get to eat a very large slice of humble pie at the end of the season, onwards and upwards. FWAW.
6.) 26 Jul 2026 09:34:59
Glady eat two large slices of humble pie.
If we manage to get promoted.
As it stands, it looks unlikely that's all.
Fingers crossed.
7.) 26 Jul 2026 09:35:56
B Hill, I've followed Wolves for nearly 60 years, home and away, & if you think that's what I want, then you have not got a clue about my loyalties. You seem to think anyone who posts an opinion that doesn't suit your narrative is a doom merchant.
How about we struggle badly, & then you post "oh dear me", who'd have thought it. If Wolves don't sort this out very quickly, we'll be closer to the bottom than the top, & I'll wait for your posts to inspire us if better things to come.
8.) 26 Jul 2026 10:02:49
Tbf, Lex, the question was where do you think we will finish, and all you did was shoot down the original poster, telling them no chance and taking your tinted glasses off, while pointing out everything wrong with the team. Is it any surprise people find this doom and gloom? Why not just give your prediction instead of shooting other opinions down? This can be said for a lot of posters on here; they are happy to shoot anything remotely positive down.
I'm not sure on my prediction yet, as I haven't had a chance to follow the games.
9.) 26 Jul 2026 10:23:36
Not confident enough to predict a finishing position, but I fully expect the season to be full of highs and lows. Early-season results may give us a boost of confidence if results go our way, but the opposite would also be true.
The more interesting question might be which other teams are going to be challenging.
10.) 26 Jul 2026 10:24:54
Thanks, Goatmark, I'm glad to see someone gets the point. There is too much despondency about how we're going to do. He is not the only one who has supported Wolves for 60 years.
We all live in hope that this is the season, but we must not get too dispirited. Get behind the manager and team. Move on, not worry about the past. Those days have gone. F WAW
11.) 26 Jul 2026 10:32:58
No chance of going up, certainly not automatically. From what I'm hearing, nothing has changed in the style of play, which is beyond belief. We can't score goals, and the defence is rubbish.
12.) 26 Jul 2026 10:46:43
Didn't I say closer to the bottom than the top? At the moment, that's my prediction. I would love a couple of weeks activity in the transfer market, but it seems we've got to offload first & then we go for what's left. Tell me I'm wrong.
13.) 26 Jul 2026 11:20:48
Don't make it personal, B Hill, please. Fair play to doing 60 years. Think it gives us the right to have an opinion in my eyes. We'll see.
14.) 26 Jul 2026 11:26:20
This site is all about opinions. Everyone has his or her opinion and debates.
15.) 26 Jul 2026 16:49:12
imo it's quite obvious, QS, that CP is trying to change the style of play. Yes, in two friendly games we have seen some back play and sideways, but we've also seen the gaps that can be created by this, and the playing positions that need to come into them, freeing areas for runners.
Of course we havnt got a finalised team sheet yet, but just two players I've noted are: 1) Mosquiro restraining himself (this could be Trips' words of advice on the pitch influencing him, though), and 2) Munetsi, used to chase all over, now he's held his position.
A more disciplined approach seems evident, and other little things, like 'winning' free kicks, are notable.
Their style of play is transforming, the opportunity to attack developing. The only thing lacking at this stage is the lack of new recruits and knowledge of who will be performing.
The youngsters havnt got the nous or speed to actually perform CP's way yet, and that's where we may come a cropper. It's Fosun's way to some extent, but it's lack of sales that's holding us back.
If we end up keeping the bulk of last year's team, we're not going to get them gelled in time for the real ko, and we could drift into midtable non-competition.
I really hope there's some strong player activity this week out and in, so we can see something resembling a team come Saturday evening.
11 Jun 2026 09:44:51
Anyone know if the club have reported on actual social media that RE is sacked.
1.) 11 Jun 2026 09:50:22
I hold my hands up, I'm no fan of Edwards as a manager.
As a person, you all know why, I have complete sympathy for him.
Wish him luck.
Long live the Wolves.
2.) 11 Jun 2026 09:53:23
My apologies FC, I'd discounted the reports. It seems RE didn't know until he rang the club after a family member saw it on social media.
I'm surprised at the timing, as I'd wanted him gone after the Burnley game.
Now, after his part in getting Tripper and Raul, seems odd.
Getting another 'ambitious' manager without true pedigrees for a Championship season seems risky.
What an unpredictable club we love?
3.) 11 Jun 2026 10:01:17
I'm gobsmacked. While I was very disappointed in Rob last season, and thought he was very lucky to survive, the timing of this is bizarre. It looked like Rob had been given the chance to take us back up, but now this? I saw the rumour a week or so and dismissed it.
Nathan obviously means business, unless his ear has been bent and sold a pup by Mendes. Well, prepare for a few Portuguese players arriving on our shores. Fingers crossed!
4.) 11 Jun 2026 10:07:49
Nothing on the Wolves website yet, FC. Not sure about social media platforms, don't use them.
5.) 11 Jun 2026 10:28:42
Sky Sports have it.
10 Jun 2026 23:40:53
?? EXCL: Wolves agree deal in principle to appoint Cesar Peixoto as new head coach.
Interest reported by O Jogo, now verbal agremeent in place with Peixoto to take over at #WWFC.
Excellent job at Gil Vicente with record results and seen among top talented young managers.
Bit random.
Though RE would get chance in championship.
1.) 11 Jun 2026 07:02:18
I'm not placing too much on those reports, FC. He hasn't got, in any way, a decent or loyal record, and it seems to be a case of him being 'sounded out' rather than any intent.
2.) 11 Jun 2026 07:37:46
Big mistake if true.
3.) 11 Jun 2026 07:43:19
I know we all went on about Edwards, but I thought they might have given him a chance in the Championship.
I've never heard of this new bloke, but then again, never heard of Nuno.
4.) 11 Jun 2026 07:43:58
Not sure who exactly sees him as among top talented young managers, FC. That's just spin, going by his record, which are the only facts we are really interested in. I was lukewarm about Edwards' ability to get us promoted, and I can't say I'm overly enthused by Peixoto. Hopefully I'm completely wrong. Can't say life being a Wolves fan is dull at the moment.
5.) 11 Jun 2026 08:46:07
Rob Edwards has been sacked.
6.) 11 Jun 2026 08:55:54
How two-faced are some of you lot. Not long ago you all wanted him out: too defensive, boring football, no idea how to play attacking football, worst manager we've ever had. Now you're feeling sorry for him. Make your minds up.
7.) 11 Jun 2026 09:12:06
Bhill, it's the timing and the brutal manner in which it's been done that's shocked fans. I do wonder if Andre, Trippier & Raul had any knowledge of this when they made their decisions?
8.) 11 Jun 2026 09:33:23
You say some of you lot, then you all, B Hill. Make your mind up. My thoughts are above.
9.) 11 Jun 2026 09:34:39
What or who exactly is two-faced, B Hill? There isn't a single comment above (or even many on this page for that matter) which suggests this is the wrong decision. Like 47 says, I think the timing has shocked fans, but I'm not seeing many fans saying they don't know why it's happened, are you? Rob Edwards is an incredibly decent person, and that's to his credit, and not about to change. Sadly, that does not automatically qualify him as a decent Prem manager. In fact, when you look at his numbers for his stint with us and Luton, he is in fact our worst performing Prem manager ever.
I think Nathan's logic is sound. What's the point in Rob getting us promoted if he's not up to the job in the Prem?
I do feel sorry for Rob; he wasn't helped by a truly disgraceful transfer window in Jan, when we seemingly went out of our way to weaken the team. That, however, does not change the facts that Rob's record was shockingly poor. I wish the guy nothing but luck in the future, but for me this was the right call. Two things can be true. Just because this decision was hard and harsh doesn't mean it wasn't the correct decision. Onwards and upwards. ?
10.) 11 Jun 2026 09:47:53
So well put, Bully. Thank you.
11.) 11 Jun 2026 10:15:25
Never wanted him in the first place. Glad he has gone. He had the worst record ever, you can't deny that. Onwards and upwards forever Wolves.
12.) 11 Jun 2026 10:47:14
Thanks gents, onwards and upwards eh! Let's hope Peixoto has a dream. ? ?
09 Jun 2026 23:27:45
Si Senor.
Raul is back.
Seems to all be shaping up nicely.
1.) 10 Jun 2026 07:40:42
Has Fosun woke up and seen exactly what has happened. 2 great signings, happy with both. Let see some more signings. Neves on a season loan maybe now that would be great.
24 May 2026 07:29:16
Obviously with Andre staying and a number of other players leaving, does anyone think he will become captain and help RE with building the team around him? Prediction for game: 2-1 us. ?
1.) 24 May 2026 12:38:07
Depends on what happens over the summer. If someone like Trippier is brought in or Lascalles, then they should be captain, as they have the experience. If not, then Andre should be installed, if Krejci and Santi go.
2.) 24 May 2026 13:46:46
As Edwards says, Andre is a quiet lad but funny. I don't think being quiet makes for a good captain; we need someone loud, like Coady was. Tripier would be an ideal captain.
31 Jan 2026 08:04:47
I think so too rated
Any news on signings?
23 Dec 2025 04:53:24
Made me smile Arddunby ?
19 Sep 2025 09:43:41
Yes I am suggsting that. The only problem with it is his wages Wandering.
28 Jul 2026 21:41:25
Seems like the club is just trying to get to the bare minimum here.
24 Jul 2026 10:35:15
I remember seeing something somewhere about it. If we do, I doubt we will activate it. From what I have seen from him (YouTube highlights), he does nothing to convince me we need him desperately.
16 Jul 2026 10:47:18
Didn't expect him to go to them. I'm disgusted to be honest.
24 May 2026 07:33:27
Hope all goes well, Grey.
Wishes go out to your brother and his son.
22 Apr 2026 06:57:35
I don't know about anyone else, but a positive thing about going down is we will play Albion next season. This might attract anger, but I have wanted to get our derby back for a long time.
